Fans have been captivated by the extreme chemistry in the hit historical drama The King's Woman between Zhang Bin Bin, who plays a powerful king, and Dilraba Dilmurat, who plays the woman loved by the king. So, when the two stars were asked how many times they kissed (on screen), what was the answer?

Despite Zhang Bin Bin's on-screen persona as a bold, ruthless, and powerful king, he shyly (and very adorably) lowered his head in embarrassment.

Dilraba covered her face too, but she attempted to answer...

Finally, she concluded, "Too many to count!"

(Because this video is all in Chinese, scroll down to see my translation.)

(Translation)

Dilraba: OMG, I didn't count. Who counted? I didn't count!

(The interviewer tried to help their memory by playing selected scenes from The King's Woman.)

Dilraba: It's probably... the two characters... many times the scriptwriter gave us these scenes like the red date kiss, Ying Zheng (the King) suddenly turns around, or his head comes really close to look at me... many of these scenes are commonly popular and the scriptwriter gave them all to us.

00:38 - 01.57 is a replay of a scene where the King demands intimacy because he's been waiting patiently. He stops, however, seeing her resistance and says that he'll never give up until they can really be together. (Please watch the drama for the fine details as I'd hate to steal the official subber's thunder here.)

Zhang Bin Bin: When you suddenly played the scenes, I felt like, "Did I really play this? Was this really me?" I kept wanting to escape.

Dilraba: As it was playing, it's like... please don't play anymore. Pause! Pause!

Even a teaser, which is specifically made to promote a drama, cannot beat this interview that has out-teased many other teasers.
